Load
shedding is a part of our lives now. Something,us Pakistani's have
accustomed to so well that if (very rarely) effected, the light doesn't go out on
it's prescribed time, it is celebrated with joy. Then again the moment
of rejoice when the lights come back. Such are the little happiness's in
our lives.
Productivity when performing various tasks has also decreased rapidly. Fewer tasks can be done without electricity and hence there is lesser time available otherwise which calls for more efficiency. As a result, time management is a big issue very often. On the other hand, the price of electricity and fuel has increased rapidly which has only tightened the conditions of the general population. As a whole, it has caused much misery in the country and has posed many problems which need to be fixed before it's too late.
However on a more serious note,it's such a pity to see
this country in such a state. The government and our rulers have managed
to disappoint us time and again by failing badly in serving the
population which is their basic responsibility. It's just shameful in
fact how these rulers are living luxuriously off our money and openly
causing corruption.
Talking specifically about load-shedding,
it has caused distress nation-wide. Industries have suffered immensely
and so have businesses linked to them. Those people who have electricity
oriented jobs like tailors also face much hardships. Then
again, students have and are continuing to suffer as they are unable to
study without the basic necessities. The generator and ups businesses
have undoubtedly flourished and gained popularity though. However these
are just luxuries which the middle and upper classes can afford. Many
people from the upper class have also started considering immigration
and settlements abroad. As a result, the class difference has gone wider
which is but a sad reality. The rich have only gone richer and are the
ones least affected. The poor have gone poorer and understandably gotten
frustrated.
